Ladies, [motherhood] is a full-time job. Do not kid yourself that you can be a dental receptionist and a mother that you can be a typist and a mom that you can be a Vice President and a mom. One of the two things will win. Now look at your Bible and ask what you have to do.

The Christian will be sure to make enemies. It will be one of his objects to make none but if doing what is right and believing what is true should cause him to lose every earthly friend, he will regard it as a small loss, since his great Friend in heaven will be even more friendly and will reveal Himself to him more graciously than ever.
